You might be interested in the widget.el library (it has its own info
docs).  Not the easiest to use, but quite powerful.

Another approach would be to write a major mode with suitable bindings,
probably derived from special-mode.  I suspect this is what mu4e does.

A lightweight approach would be a hydra.  Coincidentally, I blogged
about my Org-mode-related hydra a few days ago:
http://mbork.pl/2018-03-18_My_Org-mode_hydra

I might need a similar thing (a menu-driven application on top of
Emacs), so I might be tempted to write a blog post about such a thing.
Would you be interested?

I'm wondering what Org-mode features are you going to interfce to this
way.

Hth,

[O] Creating mu4e-like screens for org-mode

[Roland Everaert]

Hi,

I would like to create a set of screens for dealing with org-mode like mu
and notmuch does with maildir.

So I am searching good resources, like guidelines, that explain how to
build that can of features.

I could look directly into the code of those projects or the agenda view,
but I would prefer something more structured than trial-and-error.


Regards,


Roland.
